Some customers prefer to purchase from catalogues.
Not everybody lives within driving distance of your stores.
Many retailers run catalogues to reach those customers and build a voluble customer database that builds sales and customer loyalty and perhaps most importantly of all increases the business value.
Sales order processing and trade counters
Alternatively you may sell to trade account customers and want to maintain credit account facilities for those clients.
With rising rents, falling sales in the high street, cheaper technology - what could be better than developing an ability to handle mail order, catalogue sales and perhaps even trade account sales order processing?
